I wasn't totally clear on what this meant… “edits saved to the Photos library”; to me that means that the native file (i.e. PSD) is saved back in Photos, so you can open it again in the external editor. Is that what you interpret that to mean?

The way I interpret it is: Open a picture in Pixelmator.. conduct your edits there.. once edited, hit save or close in the app and go back to Photos.. the picture will have reflected all the edits made in that app.

I am thinking that Apple might be saving a sidecar type file (maybe hidden from Finder) that contains specific details about the edits and if ever you reopen tat photo in Pixelmator, you can continue editing right where you left off…

I am thinking not all apps will be compatible at first.. developers will need to incorporate some kind of API into their apps for this type of behaviour to work.. Pixelmator and Photoshop might have gotten an early access to the API hence they were shown in the demo picture. (though int he menu, I do see “other”).. interesting indeed.
